About Me

Dr. Rick Kava is pleased to be able to offer
beautiful smiles to his neighbors in Sioux City and the surrounding
communities.

Dr. Kava earned his dental degree from the University of Nebraska
Medical Center College of Dentistry, after earning his bachelor’s
degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Prior to entering
private practice, he completed a general practice residency at the
Veterans Administration Hospital in Omaha.

Dr. Kava has taken numerous postgraduate education courses,
selecting courses on a wide range of topics to maintain his
comprehensive knowledge and skill level. He has completed the
coursework at the Peter Dawson Academy for Advanced Dental Study,
which emphasized occlusion (your bite), TMJ disorders, and esthetic
restorative dentistry. Additionally, he has completed training in
sleep apnea treatment, orthodontics, CERECTM restorations, and soft
tissue laser treatments. His most recent course in conscious
sedation at the Albert Einstein Institute Monte Fiore Hospital in
Bronx, NY, allows him to offer a full range of sedation options so
his patients can achieve healthy, beautiful smiles in complete
comfort.

A teacher as well as a student, Dr. Kava has lectured at the Western
District of Nebraska State Dental Association and trained other
dentists in soft tissue laser treatment in several venues, including
the American Dental Association annual meeting. He is a contributing
author to the Principles and Practice of Laser Dentistry by Robert
Convissar and was featured as the cosmetic dentist for Extreme
Makeover, Siouxland Edition.

Dr. Kava is an active participant in the community, providing
extensive assistance in the area of animal welfare and serving on
the board of directors of the Siouxland Humane Society. He and Kris,
his wife of 25 years, have three daughters, and in his spare time,
he enjoys working outside, reading, golfing, and spending time with
his family.
